Netgear router and internet usage logs?

Cottage_Economy

Hi there

I have a Netgear router, and I'm curious if I can access information or logs about my daily/weekly/monthly broadband usage through it?

I'm not convinced about what BT claim I'm using every month and I'm wondering if the router could help me shed any light. I'd also like to find something that would help us monitor our usage across the different devices we use.

Have a look at NetWorx

Yeh, I will be looking at my package again and getting unlimited, but my usage has gone through the roof and I'd like to try and correlate it with what I'm doing for a bit before I do just out of interest.

That BT usage meter is a bit basic for my taste.

any video/iplayer is going to eat up a 10GB allowance pretty quickly, the routerstats software I linked to can count the bytes up and down provided the router isn't booted, that figure should be close but there are some overheads on top - it's on the telnet router screen under

Bytes Transferred (ppp0):

Tx: xxxx (xx KiB)

Rx: zzzz (xx MiB)
